"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?"

Nisaka looked away, his hands twitching. Neji stared and leaned close to him, way too close for the other boy's liking. They were the only ones awake in the room.

"You're too close." Nisaka muttered, his voice wavering. Just how did Neji found out...? All these while, he had kept it all to himself. So, how..?

"Nisaka." Neji said, his breath dangerously near Nisaka's ears. The latter shuddered and felt his face reddened. Was it the fact that they were alone? Or was it that Neji was right in front of him, asking him to reveal his true feelings to him?

...

Ah, screw it.

Nisaka felt a snap in his mind and pushed Neji down to the ground. The other boy was surprised, but made no attempt to fight him off till he realised that Nisaka was straddling him.

"W-what're you doing?" Neji asked, flustered. His wrists were pinned down by the boy who'd always look so nonchalant about everything. Nisaka lowered his head to only a few centimetres away from the confused boy's.

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Flustered, Neji felt his cheeks burning and he stuttered, "I-I didn't ask for this." He continued to struggle despite his apparent lack of strength.

When was Nisaka this strong?

He knew that Nisaka was an ikemen and all, but adding strength as another plus point was really unfair. It was as if he had everything in the world.

"Oh?" Nisaka hummed and moved close to Neji's ear. Then, he nipped at it. Neji yelped in surprise and yelled Nisaka's name. The latter ignored his resistance and whispered directly into his ear. "This was what I've been hiding from you."

"Didn't you like Takasaki-san?!"

"..."

"...?"

With that, Nisaka got off Neji. The corners of his mouth was turned down and he gave off a distanced feeling. Then, without saying anything or looking at him, he stomped out of the room. Neji merely sat there, confused and unnerved.

What just happened?

Everything happened so fast. He shook his head. No, he shouldn't dwell on it.

"..."

He looked at the door Neji walked out of and touched his ear. Somehow, a part of him was disappointed that Nisaka left him just like that.
